Type 2 diabetes involves chiefly

  • A.a total inability to produce any glucose at all
  • B.reduced responsiveness of cells to insulin
  • C.the complete absence of insulin from birth onward
  • D.destruction of every one of the glucose transporters

Answer: B

The signal is present but the cells respond poorly, which is a failure of signal reception rather than of production. Type 1 diabetes, by contrast, is a failure to make the hormone at all. The two conditions share a name and a symptom but not a cause.
